ABC Adds Two Bachelor Nation Shows To 2024 Schedule

Some only lasted a season or two while others have been around for years.
The franchise bet on the older generation in 2023 with the first-ever Golden Bachelor spinoff featuring Gerry Turner, 72, and women in their 60s or older. The spinoff was such a success that the network announced a Golden Bachelorette season this fall.
The news came in February at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour.

“The Bachelorette” launched its 20th season Monday night, marking the first season to air without franchise creator Mike Fleiss on board — except Fleiss’ name still appeared when the credits rolled.
During the ending credits at the conclusion of the episode, the very last name to appear on-screen was Fleiss’ accompanied by the words “created by.”
Unlike past seasons, Fleiss was not credited as an “executive producer” and his production company, Next Entertainment, was not listed. In former seasons, Fleiss’ name appeared first on the credits, instead of last.
A source tells Variety that the “created by” credit is contractual because Fleiss is still the creator of “The Bachelor” franchise, regardless of his departure.
Warner Bros. TV declined to comment.
Fleiss parted ways with his own franchise earlier this year. No reason was given for his exit at the time, but Variety reported that an Hr investigation into allegations of racial...

A spin-off for the show ‘The Bachelor’ has been announced and its contestants will be senior citizens.
‘The Golden Bachelor’, which will premiere this fall, will focus on one lucky older gentleman and age-appropriate female suitors who will compete for his love, reports pagesix.com.
In a press release obtained by Variety, the new reality series is described as a “whole new kind of love story – one for the golden years.”
The network describes the – we imagine – salt and peppered hair, twinkly-eyed mature gentleman as a “hopeless romantic” who will be “given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life.”
Per the release, the group of women “arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities.”

Chris Harrison didn’t hold back about how he views The Bachelor creator and former executive producer Mike Fleiss in the latest episode of his podcast.
The April 9 episode of The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever featured a conversation with former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Meghan King. Toward the end of the episode, she asked Harrison if he believed there to be any narcissists within the Bachelor franchise.
“The creator of the show was — severely,” he replied. “One of the toughest things about narcissism is you will never, I don’t want to say never, but very rarely, will that person ever recognize that about themselves.”
He continued, “I was talking to one therapist about narcissism and she said, ‘I’m just warning you that next to a homicidal maniac, narcissism is the toughest thing to treat.’ That to have someone self-realize and actually fix that is next to impossible.

Since the first season of The Bachelor aired back in 2002, several spinoffs have come and gone. The show’s original concept began with one single man and a group of women vying for his love. Since then, many things about The Bachelor have changed, but the show remains. Fans might not know just how many other shows the franchise has created. Here are some notable spinoffs worth watching.

The Bachelor creator/executive producer Mike Fleiss’ recently announced departure from the hit ABC reality franchise came after he had been investigated over workplace misconduct allegations, Deadline has confirmed.
According to sources, The Bachelor producer Warner Bros. TV, working with ABC, recently completed the investigation into claims of alleged racist behavior as well as verbal and emotional abuse against Fleiss.
I hear this came together very quickly. After a conversation with Warner Bros. over the results from the investigation, he opted to leave; Fleiss was not formally fired, sources said. Through a rep, he declined comment regarding any investigation. He also released a statement; you can read it in full below.
This is the second known time Warner Bros. had launched a probe into Fleiss’ behavior; in 2019, the studio said that they were “looking into” the “serious allegations” raised by his then-pregnant wife who accused him of attacking her.

“The Bachelor” creator Mike Fleiss is parting ways with the mega-dating franchise he launched more than two decades ago, Variety has learned.
Fleiss will be replaced by new showrunners Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich and Bennett Graebner, all of whom have long-term ties to “The Bachelor.”
“The Bachelor” has been on ABC since 2002, when it launched with its flagship show. The series later spawned numerous spinoffs, including the female-fronted “Bachelorette” and summer entry “Bachelor In Paradise.” Nearly 55 seasons of those collective shows, all created by Fleiss, have aired over the years, as well as other defunct spinoffs. The franchise is currently in production on its 20th season of “The Bachelorette,” which will air this summer.
The news of Fleiss’ departure comes the day after “The Bachelor” Season 27 finale aired on ABC. That edition featured bachelor Zach Shallcross, who proposed to his winner Kaity Biggar on Monday night’s episode.

When production shut down on ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise” last summer amidst claims of sexual misconduct involving contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson, speculation ran rampant about the parties involved and what might have drunkenly occurred on- and off-camera. Lawsuits were contemplated and threatened, but in the end — after an internal investigation by Warner Bros. Television declared no misconduct had taken place — the show essentially used the events to help promote the launch of its season.
While the real-life drama in unscripted may sound like fodder for a season of “UnReal,” it’s indicative of the overall climate in Hollywood right now, given executives and talent coming under fire as past misbehavior comes to light. In the time of #MeToo and Time’s Up, the practices surrounding reality show casting and acceptable on-screen behavior should theoretically be evolving, too — not that many are willing to address it just yet.

Tenley's bridesmaids were dressed in various shades of pink and the floral girl wore a floral crown on her head while looking up toward the atlar. Tenley and her new hubby looked very much in love, and when they met it was basically love at first sight. Just three weeks after meeting Taylor, the Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, and Bachelor...

As a whole The Bachelor franchise is pretty bizarre. It's a show built on finding a marriage partner after three dates (maybe). Even given Bachelor Nation's prosperity for weirdness, The Bachelor Winter Games is so strange, it defies description. It's part Bachelor in Paradise, part ill-fated Bachelor Pad, somehow, inspired by the Winter Olympics and all trashy reality TV fun.
The second episode of Winter Games isn't as outrageous as the first. For example, traditional rose ceremonies are now back. Yet Winter Games still manages to be an amusing but curious corner of the ever stranger Bachelor Nation.

Erica Rose is an unforgettable name to most Bachelor fans. The 35-year-old, Texas-based contestant from Lorenzo Borghese’s season of the show was known for being the center of attention (and, at the time, for exclusively wearing tiaras), and although she didn’t win Borghese’s final rose, she went on to appear on several Bachelor specials and on seasons two and three of Bachelor Pad. And now, the life coach and mother of one has found her true love — Rose was married over the weekend in Houston, Texas to fiancé Charles Sanders! And both the wedding and the events...

All week long, Vulture explores what happens to reality TV contestants after the show ends — and the future of the genre itself. To date or not to date. This is the question that typically follows a stint on a reality-tv dating show. Once a reality contestant’s been exposed, trying to make meaningful connections in the world can be a tall order (however flattering the attention). Vulture asked Chris Bukowski, Courtney Robertson, and Reid Rosenthal of The Bachelor franchise, along with Marissa Floro of Dating Naked, to share their struggles and experiences. *****Reid Rosenthal is best known for his vulnerable marriage proposal to Jillian Harris, after she had eliminated him on The Bachelorette. He gave Bachelor Pad a shot three years later. The 36-year-old Philadelphia realtor has been in a relationship for two years, but he well remembers the heady months after he became one of the franchise’s most...

Host Chris Harrison warns us before every episode that this one will be the most dramatic one of all time – but this time, it actually might deserve that title.
A lot happened in the two-hour part 1 season finale of Bachelor in Paradise, including the fact that basically half the cast left the show, but it's safe to say the most insane part that still has us reeling was that Kirk broke up with Carly. We'll get to that ... but first, a quick rundown of all the other relationships that crashed and burned (and the few that blossomed) on Sunday night's episode.

That delicious summer mess called "Bachelor in Paradise" is ending its 2015 season this Sunday, September 6 and Monday, September 7, followed by one last "After Paradise" special with Rosemaster Chris Harrison. We're really going to miss that cute opening pose from Kirk. Not so much all the *drama* and tears.
But speaking of drama and tears (and Kirk), how are things going to end for the Season 2 couples? Paradise has been a revolving door of craziness, but there should only be one more person joining the mix -- beautiful single mom Cassandra Ferguson from Juan Pablo Galavis's season -- and a Lot of people are leaving. Reality Steve posted spoilers on the final two episodes of dates and departures, with scoop on the three couples that elected to stay together, including the one that got engaged.

In classic fashion, Sunday's episode of Bachelor in Paradise kicked off with some good old Samantha-Joe drama.
Samantha, who had said yes to a date with Justin the night before, mysteriously changed her mind the next morning, deciding she wouldn't be going on the date and that she wanted to get back together with Joe. (Keep in mind she had just dumped him on his birthday.) Joe, of course, was so over-the-moon at her sudden change of heart that he didn't think for a second that she might flip-flop on him again. Spoiler alert: She did, and it wasn't pretty.
